WARREN HARTLE,
who has been in the railway mail service for about three
years, is a well known resident of Covington, Miami County,
Ohio, and is the owner of 110 acres of valuable land in
Newberry Township, seventy acres of which is located in
Section 13, and forty acres in Section 14. He was born
on this farm Jan. 17, 1873, and is a son of Peter
and Mary (Gilbert) Hartle, a grandson of
Frederick Hartle, and great-grandson of
John Johannes Hartle.
John Hartle, the great-grandfather, was a
native of Zweibrücken,
Pfaltz, Germany, and was a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
He lived at Albany, New York, at the time of the war but
afterward went to Hagerstown, Maryland, where he married.
He later moved to Blair County, Pennsylvania, when an old
man and there passed away.
Frederick Hartle, grandfather of Warren,
moved from Blair County, Pennsylvania, some time after his
marriage, to Miami County, Ohio, where he entered 160 acres
of land, of which the forty-acre tract in Section 14, owned
by our subject, formed a part. All of this quarter
section continues in the family name. Frederick
bought additional land and became a large landowner.
He died and was buried on the old farm in Newberry Township.
Peter Hartle was born in Blair County,
Pennsylvania, and was but a small boy when his parents moved
to Miami County, Ohio. Here he grew to maturity
and learned the carpenter's trade, which he
followed many years. He enjoyed a wide reputation as a
carpenter, being unexcelled as a workman, and he erected
many buildings, among them being the old county house and
barn at Troy. He later took
up farming in Newberry Township, putting up all the
buildings on the farm, even to making of the doors and
sashes. He died there in 1902, at the age of
seventy-eight years, after a long and useful life. His
wife survived him some two years. She was in maiden
life Mary Gilbert, and was born and raised in
Newberry Township, a part of Covington being situated on
what was the old Gilbert homestead. Her
father, Thomas Gilbert, was a native of South
Carolina, and from there enlisted for service in the War of
1812. He came north with his regiment and was finally
discharged at Greeneville, Ohio. Being a poor boy, he
decided to remain in the north and invest the pay he
received for military service, in land; time proved the
wisdom of his investments and he died leaving an estate
estimated at $80,000. He was a very public-spirited
man and was the founder of the Greenville Creek Christian
Church, and always liberal in its support.
Warren Hartle was reared on the home farm
and continued to live there some ten years after his
marriage. In 1906 they moved to Covington, renting his
farm property, and they have a fine home on Wall Street.
Among his cherished possession is a thirty-five dollar note
issued by the Continental Congress to his great-grandfather,
John Hartle, in payment for military service
during the Revolution. In 1896 Mr. Hartle
was married to Miss Margaret Young, a daughter
of S. F. Young, of Darke County, Ohio, and they have
two children—Grace W. and Guy D.
Religiously, they are members of the Christian Church.
